Developing a live-streaming web platform for virtual & hybrid events
Eventmix is a web-based platform that allows users to run fully customizable and interactive virtual events directly on their website. Sergiu Biris and Andrei Dunca, two esteemed Romanian startup founders, approached RebelDot to support them in creating a widely customizable video streaming platform, yet easy to use, that could fit various industries, all in a tight deadline.

The Challenge
Knowing that the pandemic forced most events to pivot to digital, we wanted to use this momentum. Hence, the biggest challenge was reducing time to market as much as possible, while developing a platform simple, yet versatile enough to work for any client.
Basically, the user had to be provided with an intuitive and hassle-free means of customizing their own event with their own branding and URL, hence offering a friendly and seamless experience to the event attendees by simply using their own event website. No 3rd party platform, simply an in-house digital solution.

The Strategy
As a pre-established norm within our development process, adopting an Agile approach allowed our team to quickly respond to any changes and reach the market in a timely manner.
Working iteratively, from one event to another, the team managed to provide a seamless user experience from the very first event and gather insightful feedback for feature prioritization and further upgrades.
Since the application included two interfaces, a dashboard for the event organizers and one for the participants, our team was split in two collaborating groups that developed both dashboards simultaneously, the Admin and the Client one.
"Their ability to be adaptable to new situations and to solve problems very quickly is impressive. They’re definitely someone you would want to work with."
What we did
MVP development
With clients already enquiring about the product early in the process, for the first pilot event, the development team launched the MVP with an improvised back-end, due to time constraints.
This proved to be effective, as, beyond the favorable metrics and satisfactory client reviews, the team behind managed to gather important feedback which then supported them in articulating the whole architecture of the web-platform, as well as the backend component.
Following this first event, the developers kept updating the platform iteratively, from one event to another, working with tight deadlines and ensuring that each of their client’s specific needs were met.
Product development
The project kicked off using React Native, to create Client dashboard, adding a set of priority features such as streaming, the user chat, the registration or the sponsorships display.
Once this was done, the development team moved on to designing the Admin part from scratch, using React to create the features that brought the fully customizable promise of the web platform to life.
With features such as custom themes, interactive engagement, or integrations from various platforms just to name a few, Eventmix began to take shape gradually.
